Last version of this excellent ScreenSavers hack fail to extract a cover from some ebooks in a "new slight variation" of kfx format developed by Amazon from last January.

While waiting for a proper fix by masters @NiLuJe or @jhowell, you can try this quick and dirty patch to file

Code:

src/linkss/bin/kfxmeta.py

:

Code:

$ diff kfxmeta-orig.py kfxmeta.py
264c264,267
<             for value1 in entity_value[b"categorised_metadata"]:
---
>             target = entity_value
>             if entity_value.has_key("type") and entity_value["type"] == b"P2":
>                 target = entity_value["value"]
>             for value1 in target[b"categorised_metadata"]:

It works for all my kfx amazon ebooks ("old" and "new" variations).
